What is the magnification of the images formed by plane mirrors and why?

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. What does this mean?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

As m = `(h_2)/(h_1) = +1`

h2 = h1

i.e., the size of the image is equal to the size of the object. Further, the + sign of m indicates that the image is erect and hence virtual..

A magnifying lens has a focal length of 100 mm. An object whose size is 16 mm is placed at some distance from the lens so that an image is formed at a distance of 25 cm in front of the lens. 

 Where should the object be placed if the image is to form at infinity?

 

An image formed on a screen is three times the size of the object. The object and screen are 80 cm apart when the image is sharply focussed. 

 Calculate focal length of the lens.


For a plane mirror, magnification m = ______.


Assertion: The focal length of the mirror is /and the distance of the object from the focus is V then the magnification of the mirror will be `("f"/"f−u")`

Reason: Magnification = `"image distance"/ "object distance"` = `(-"v"/"u")`
